    I might say Young and Moses with 2 of Henderson,Hoskins or Priskin on the bench because Aidy might justplay Smith again and Bouazza back on the left.

    Priskin/Moses would not be bad if we do not play too many long balls which will only be easy stuff for the Liverpool defence.

    Hoskins & Moses for me, not scarred but willing to go the extra mile. Give it a go, they both seem confident.

    I said Hendo and Hoskins
    -as you never know, they could click, and both work in perfect harmony, hendo having 1 last chance to score before he is permantly dropped to the bench. Stick Ash in Attacking midfield to bring some creativity to the 2 upfront. If hendo fails to impress bring moses on at half time ;D

    I think that Ady has got to start Tamas given his last two games. The other slot could go to Hoskins or Moses with Will shading it due to recent 1st team footie and the fact he is so prolific.

    Really like the look of Moses and have nothing but respect for Hendo. Would play Ash wide right with Macca left. Give Francis one last chance to impress with Mahon.

    The defender would be Marriappa/Jay/Big Dan/Jordan

    No way can you drop Bangura instead of Francis!

    Young on right wing, Bouazza on the left. Two up front should be either Hendo and Hoskins or Priskin and Hoskins. Moses - despite scoring yesterday, is far from ready for Liverpool. He's only played 11 senior matches in his life. Bring him on late if you want but not from the off.

    The question remains - who do we play if we get a prem class striker like John. I mean, where would the others go?

    Right now we have 4 strikers in Hendo, Tamas, Hoskins and Moses. With a new one we'll have 5. Two for league matches and two for reserve matches. One to do what?

    Please remember that Moses is still raw talent everybody. He is not good enough yet.

    Young and Hoskins, without doubt.

    The surprise element!!!!

    They are both young keen and best of all an unknown quantity, Ashokodi & Hoskins for me!!!!

    At least for a couple of games, they could catch the opposition on the hop :cool:

    moses and hosins for me, but as albangura9 says hendo might get his form back along a prolific striker

    moses and hopkins could work well if we play young and macca on the wing with those 4 players they can make a big inpact and we can play on the ground and really get at them as young and macca on the wing are allways a threat and hopkins and moses might be able to give the centre backs a run around. with bouazza and the bench aswell we have that another strong attacking choise on the bench.

    Out of the options I went for Tamas and Hoskins.

    Moses is too raw and Priskin was playing well enough not to be dropped.

    Though it might be a bit harsh to drop both Macca and Smith to put Bouazza and Young on the wings.

    I reckon the most likely option is Tamas and Bouazza up front with Macca and Young on the wings and Hoskins and Moses on the ).

    I think Aidy will keep Ash up front, and play Tamas alongside him, with Moses on the bench. I think Aidy considers Ash to be our first choice striker now and I thik that he will put Tamas alongside him instead of Moses despite his goal against Stockport.

    I don't think Bouazza will be fit in time for the game. Remember he hasn't played any reserve games yet. Even if he is fit, will Boothroyd drop McNamee, our in-form player?

    I have to say Macca was bloody hilarious - no wonder he's got problems breathing. I have never seen anyone move so crazily, he was like an epileptic on ecstacy and the ball stayed where it was;D ;D ;D ;D

    It's a tough one to call, all of a sudden we have plenty of attacking options.

    "Macca stop all that @@@@ing step over **** you @@@@ing @@@."

    Hmmmm I sit right next to the dugout and I don't think I have ever heard Adie say anything like that, apart from to Jordan Stewart last season when he told him to, "f**king do your job or get off the pitch." (to which everyone clapped)

    Funny the person who told me this sits right next to the tunnel on the right as you look across the pitch, do you sit in the family area to the left and perhaps didn't hear it.

    Yeah I sit the other side of the dug-out. Probably a good chance that I didn't hear it, but seems unlikely that Adie would have gone so over the top?

    Adie is usually calm on the touchline, usually scribbling down notes in his book, instead of shouting. His shouting is usually aimed at the linesman and referee (and Jordan Stewart :))
